Explore science while inputting data into a google form to chart results! Students will get to investigate electrical voltage with meters. The student will answer a question by using a computer to manipulate data in order for the student to draw conclusions and make predictions.

Interactive tables provides data on home ownership, housing expenses, education, health and other topics. Data can be presented by nation,region, and city (only in US).

In this activity, participants plan and conduct a plant growth experiment while considering the role of data quality in automated systems in agriculture. The timing of the activity is highly dependent on the seed variety that you are growing and the level of familiarity that participants already have with basic plant science and scientific investigation concepts, but will likely take several weeks. This activity is part of the Agricultural Cyberbiosecurity Education Resource Collection that contains resources for formal and non-formal agricultural educators working with middle school aged youth. Published as Open Educational Resources, all resources are provided in durable (pdf) and customizable (MS Word) formats. They are hosted on  GoOpenVA in a unique resource collection, Ag Cybersecurity Virginia Tech, at https://goopenva.org/curated-collections/143 and on on Virginia Tech’s stable repository, VTechWorks at https://doi.org/10.21061/cyberbiosecurity

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. In this learning experience students will learn more about Martin Luther King Jr. and how he marched for causes he believed in. As a result of this learning experience students will choose their own important cause to walk or advocate for in order to honor and celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and legacy of advocacy and leadership.

This animated short highlights the holiday and tradition of Day of the Dead in Mexico. It can be used as a movietalk (http://teachingcomprehensibly.com/movietalk/) classroom activity using strategies of comprehensible input, specifically the idea of circling to gauge comprehension (https://comprehensibleclassroom.com/teacher-training/essential-strategies-for-tprsci-teachers/how-to-circle/). The activities that could follow could be changed to match the level being taught. In lower levels, having a discussion in English would be appropriate. In higher levels, asking deeper questions about how students honor their own loved ones and what their own beliefs about the holiday and tradition are could be a thought provoking prompts.

In this lesson, students will learn how to balance chemical equations. They will also learn how to debug computer programs. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to see the similarities between these two processes and how they can be used to solve problems.

In this lesson, students are going to debug algorithms that list steps of how habitats change over time due to natural and human resources. Students will need to think critically about the order of steps that occur when habitats change over time.

Students will review major United States holidays and why they are celebrated as a precursor to completing activities to help students organize the dates of holidays sequentially.
